Quartzsite, Arizona has adopted: Arizona has NO statewide mandatory building code for general construction — code adoption is a per-jurisdiction (town/city/county) authority under state enabling statutes (A.R.S. Title 9 for municipalities). The Town of Quartzsite independently adopts and administers its own construction codes through its Community Development Department / Building Safety Division; it does NOT defer to La Paz County for permitting within incorporated town limits. La Paz County separately runs its own Building, Safety & Permits Department for unincorporated areas of the county (lapaz.gov/589) — a distinct code-administration regime from the Town's own department. Despite Quartzsite's small year-round population and famously seasonal RV/gem-show tourist economy, its Building Safety Division independently adopts, amends, and enforces its own full suite of ICC technical codes (confirmed via Town Code Chapter 150 and the Development Procedures Handbook) — it is a genuinely independent building department, not a pass-through to the County.
